HC Deb 16 December 1952 vol 509 c191W
Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education the names and status of schools under the jurisdiction of the Cornwall Education Committee to which children living outside specified local areas are refused admission; the official accommodation of each such school; and the number on roll at the latest convenient date.

Miss Horsbrugh

Zoning schemes which limit the admission of children to schools to those living in a specified area may be introduced at the discretion of local education authorities and my Department does not keep particulars of them.

Mr. Hayman

asked the Minister of Education which schools under the jurisdiction of the Cornwall Education Committee have no canteen facilities.

Miss Horsbrugh

There are 47 schools, of which I am sending particulars to the hon. Member.
